Tennis Ball Game

yesterday in Econ we used a tennis ball games to serve as a visual for marginal productivity. at first one person moved tennis balls for 30 seconds from a bag to a bucket. Then 2 people, 3 people, 4 people ect. The maximum productivity was 6 people, then after, it decreased. Over all, the graph for the expiement reflected the theoretical graph, except there were random spike. we decided this was because we had to experiment with methods for transporting the ball. The experiemnt was really interesting and illustrated the idea that more workers increases propductivity to a certain point, then it levels out.
